Vintage Buttons

This morning's post brought my order of lovely vintage buttons from Etsy friend (friend of the blog?) Vintage Necessities . I recently made this little red notebook/sketchbook with a vintage button on the cover, and was impatiently waiting for my order of buttons to arrive so I could make more.

These buttons date from the 1920s - 1950s, so many of them are art deco designs. Also, there are a few large, extremely glittery blue and gold buttons from the 1950s, which will make some very glam notebooks!

Hi there! I've been tagged and as the rule goes to tag another seven players I would like to invite you! So if you feel like, come along and play with us :-) Read more here:http://tulibri.blog.de/2009/02/27/subjektive-buchtatsachen-5657249/Cheers from bookarat from the forum!

Yes, Dana, you probably could hear me singing (badly). And thanks for the tag, Tulibri! Actually, Dana tagged me for the same thing recently, so I won't do it again. The world has probably heard enough facts about me and books! :D

Ahhhh...making books! And adorning them with vintage buttons. Total bliss. I recently began making my own books with hand made paper and felted wool covers that I embellish with vintage buttons. Your books are lovely and inspiring! Hope you continue making them.
